Coordination Cost Calculator — Excelize

Step 1 of 4 Project Profile

Step 1 — Project Profile

What's your typical project value?

Pick the range that best describes a typical project for your firm. This is the only number we need.

Step 1 — Project Profile

How many projects like this do you run per year?

Approximate is fine. We'll use this to estimate your annual exposure — not a single project.

Step 2 — Your Experience

Think about your last 3 projects.

7 quick questions. No right or wrong answers. Just your honest experience — what you actually saw happen on site.

After the model was handed to the field, how often did the crew find things that needed to be redone?

Plumbing in the wrong place. Duct where steel was. Layout that didn't match what the field expected.

This estimate is based on rework cost research from the Construction Industry Institute (CII RS-153), McKinsey's "Reinventing Construction" (2017), and the Autodesk/FMI "Construction Disconnected" report (2018). Industry-verified range: 2.4%–12.4% of total project cost. Your result reflects the conservative end of that range for your risk score. This is an estimate — your actual exposure depends on project-specific details a 30-minute assessment can uncover.
